David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this. 2003-10-29 09:53:21 +00:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-08 22:56:46 +00:00			`This release includes the following changes:`
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code. 2006-10-21 11:32:05 +00:00

working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-22 21:38:52 +00:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Shmulik Regev: The tiny patch below fixes a bug (that I introduced :) which happens when negotiating authentication with a proxy (probably with web servers as well) that uses chunked transfer encoding for the 407 error pages. In this case the ''ignorebody'' flag was ignored (no pun intended). 2007-07-10 22:45:01 +00:00			`o test cases 31, 46, 61, 506, 517 now work in time zones that use leap seconds`
Giancarlo Formicuccia reported and fixed a problem with a closed connection to a proxy during CONNECT auth negotiation. 2007-07-10 22:31:13 +00:00			`o problem with closed proxy connection during HTTP CONNECT auth negotiation`

Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation: fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert. We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone. 2007-07-11 22:20:46 +00:00			`o CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1`
Shmulik Regev found an (albeit rare) case where the proxy CONNECT operation could in fact get stuck in an endless loop. 2007-07-12 20:15:38 +00:00			`o CONNECT endless loop`
Made the krb5 code build with Heimdal's GSSAPI lib 2007-07-12 21:34:42 +00:00			`o krb5 support builds with Heimdal`
Colin Hogben filed bug report #1750274 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1750274) and submitted a patch for the case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't provide a human readable error string back. 2007-07-13 20:17:35 +00:00			`o added returned error string for connection refused case`
Ralf S. Engelschall filed bug report #1757328 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1757328) and submitted a patch. It turns out we broke login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand) PASS after the USER command 2007-07-20 09:35:58 +00:00			`o re-use of dead FTP control connections`
			`o login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand) PASS after the`
the "libssh2 owns the memory don't free it" case 2007-07-20 09:38:41 +00:00			`USER command`
			`o bad free of memory from libssh2`
PWD for SFTP is fixed 2007-07-20 15:33:44 +00:00			`o the SFTP PWD command works`
Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using for a host which was supposed not to exist. 2007-04-13 11:35:19 +00:00
curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly 2007-01-28 12:58:13 +00:00			`This release includes the following known bugs:`
